Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

RCS needs to happen, I'm so sick of Whatsapp.

Why not switch to something not owned by Facebook like Signal (or something on an open protocol like Element)?

No one I know uses Signal or is skilled enough to switch away from Whatsapp. 100% have WhatsApp.

Trying to switch, would be like talking people into using Linux. Not going to happen unless the current option got much worse.

Wat? If they managed to register with WhatsApp, they can do so with literally any other messaging service.
